A quotation from Horace:

«
Ah, Postumus! they fleet away,
Our years, nor piety one hour
Can win from wrinkles and decay,

labuntur anni nec pietas moram
rugis et instanti senectae
adferet indomitaeque morti.]

A quotation from Cicero, Marcus Tullius:

«
People say that age creeps up on them quicker than they expected. First of all, who forced them to think that way? Does age creep up on adults more quickly than maturity creeps up on children? And again, would their age lie less heavily upon them if they were in their eight hundredth…

Like the fair flower dishevell’d in the wind;
Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream;
The man we celebrate must find a tomb,
And we that worship him, ignoble graves.

A quotation from Beauvoir, Simone de:
